Still a couple of issues with the account image
1. My image is 85 x 85 pixels, but it is not being displayed as such.
2. I'm unable to change the image when using my normal browser, IE8 (I had to use Chrome for that & I don't like Chrome)

I still see a problem with the upload, or at least with the rendering of the images.

Some 6 hours ago this morning, I uploaded this model and received the "model is now available" mail a few minutes later. The model info on the page looks OK, but the picture still says "Rendering Image, please be patient, it just takes a minute"

This model updated last weekend after the change also has not been rendered - the 3d render you see is of an older version.

Just an update, a lot of bugs have been sorted since the release, we are still focusing on the most important ones to ensure functionality across the site.

Being worked on currently:
Rejections - so we can quickly assess your models and refund instantly if they will be rejected
Sales Insights - both the my sales page and emails
Production -getting your orders out on time or earlier.

I had not seen the "Feed" either... but when clicking on "load more models" all it does is add the same models onto the bottom of the existing screen. Hit it again and the same thing happens - so now the same set of models are repeated three times...

I have now received two notification emails about the upload of a model called 'kingsring 15 sw original' to MY Models in my account which is not mine. This isn't my model and shouldn't have been uploaded into my account. I didn't create or upload this model.

Your system is now coming apart. I have forwarded the two emails I received to Customer Support and will leave the model where it is for now so you can find it. But you have to deal with this at your end. I don't want my models going to other accounts so I would assume that other users would not like it either. The real owner of this model may not even know that their model has gone to another account. I no longer know if my models are in other accounts.

I'm not sure if this is a bug with the new update or not, but it only started showing up after it.

Trying to upload a couple of .zips with the .png texture map and either an .X3D or a VRML file (I'm trying both, as there's something going wrong with my uploads, it's not uploading at the right scale no matter what I do, but that's a different problem).

Your upload page says this: "If your zip contains any STL, OBJ, or WRL files please select a Unit of Measure. For other file types this is not needed. " Yet I am forced to select a unit of measure for the .X3D file.

I am not sure if this is related to the InShape update, but since the dates are so coincidental I've decided to give it a shot and post some feedback.

Since 18th August (which I believe to be the date the InShape update is applied), I haven't been getting any 'Yippee!' emails to update me on sales. Also, I've checked my Order overview records and indeed, my last recorded sale was on 18th July. (I guess we can rule out my email filter blocking those emails as spam. I've checked and it doesn't appear to be the case.)

As I have always been getting a 'Yippee!' email at least once every 3 days, not receiving a single one for more than a week threw me off. I suspect it's either a bug in the system, or more horrifyingly that my customers have all decided to abandon me on the same day.

Additionally, 'Payment Status' on the .xls file for almost all my items ordered since 16th July read as 'Unsettled', but many of these orders are already produced and shipped. I did get my latest payment for for the month of July - August so I figured the .xls file was wrong. It just struck me as odd.

I've contacted customer service and got in touch with my buddy Joost, but the issue still remains unresolved.
Hope you guys can help out. Or I'll starve.

I have had exactly the same thoughts myself. I normaly get a sale every other day or so and my last sale was on the 17th. Now I do sometimes go longer without sales but have been starting to get more and more suspicious that something was wrong, what you have said seems to confirm this.

So either there is something about the new site that is frightening potential purchasers away or something stopping them completing their purchases or they are still buying stuff and Shapeways is just not telling us.

I think this is part of the general chaos that is InShape 2.0.
If I look at My Sales I see : Pending Sales Temporarily Unavailable.
Until it is fixed we are all in the dark about our sales.
I hope the end result will be worth all this agro.

I understand your concerns about not seeing your sales, so let me first reassure you:
You are all still making sales! We are tracking and recording everything accurately on our end. We're getting orders, producing them and shipping them out as normal. Nothing has changed in the Shapeways service. What is happening at the moment is as shop owners you lack transparency into your sales on the site (both emails and my sales page).

I know this has been frustrating, and I'm right there with you.

I do have some good news: the "yippie" emails will be going out again in the next day or so which will let you know every time you make a sale.

I will also get an update on the my Sales Page later today and will post it as soon as I know.

I'm not sure if you saw my separate thread (didn't see this one first), but it seems that there are still issues with uploading banner & logo images to the stores. The edit buttons are not working or are acting funny depending on which browser you are using. I posted details about it here.

Do you guys really need to test it with my personal account? It seems like I'm not the only person reporting this issue, so that seems kind-of silly.

Also, as an aside, you put a banner size notation of 960x125 on the banner frame, but you didn't put a size notation on the logo spot, which just has a shopping cart icon when empty. It would have been helpful and made sense to include if you were doing it in the other field. I measured and figured it was something like 220x165. Is that correct? Eliminating the guess work will just make things consistent between stores an look better in the store list.

For future reference, and for everyone, contacting service@shapeways.com is actually the fastest way to get a response - they are in a position to change shipments, fix orders and generally help out with any requests.

I can rarely fix these kinds of requests over the forum!

Thank you for your understanding, and please know that CS has seen your email so they are on the case.

Has anyone tried to download the markup CSV since InShape 2.0 launched? When I click the download link it thinks for a time and then shows server error "Error 500, Windows cannot display" in IE9, "Server Error, Website encountered error" on Chrome

This is a small issue relative to some others here, but it seems that the ability to see which orders are "in production" has been removed from the "my orders" page. I would just like to cast a vote to keep that feature. I always love knowing what point in the pipeline each of my orders is. I still get the emails that my order is on to the robots, which is great. But that info is lost from the "my orders" page.

Congrats on the upgrade, and good luck sorting through remaining issues.

Two issues relating to pricing and the shopping cart.
Advertised price is in USD. Shopping cart price is in Euros.
USD is static pricing whereas Euro price fluctuates and there is no option to choose USD as payment currency.

Sales related.
Yipee! email are come through again , however there is no record of this sale in the xls spreadsheet download

I had a US customer complain about the opposite - he was seeing prices in Euros, but it then asked him for a different price in $ when he came to check out.

Unfortunately I've had no further response from him when I tried to put him directly in contact with Shapeways customer service. As the sales spreadsheet is still not working I've no idea whether he has just given up or sorted it out himself .

The default location is UK (probably picked up through IP addressing) so I changed my location to United States - the currency still shows in Euros - it makes no sense to me whatsoever at all that someone choosing US as their location should be presented with a foreign currency that has no bearing on the actual price of the model calculated in USD at upload.

Should Shapeways care to carry on using Euros as a means of pricing, please put somewhere obvious (e.g. model page) the exchange rate that Shapeways are using for the USD to Euro conversion.

Do we know how Shapeways is deciding what currency to use - it doesn't seem to be either your physical location worked out from your IP or the destination country you select . though it looks as if it selects your destination country from IP.

I have 3 Id's all set up with the same address(in France) - 2 are currently showing prices in $ and one in €

I hear the confusion, and since this is a few different issues, I hope this clarifies a few things:

Shapeways is registered as a business in both the US and the EU, and not in the UK, so we can only offer Euros and Dollars (and not Pounds Sterling)

Our website is in US Dollars, and we convert to Euros. We have always updated the conversion rate manually once a month (on the 1st). We do this unless the currency jumps dramatically, then we update it more often to be accurate.

The price you see is determined by your shipping address. You can not manually change it, sorry.

Currency is determined by SHIPPING address - so in your cart, when you choose your shipping country it will switch between Euros/Dollars - this is a way to see what it costs in each currency should you wish to do so.

Remember you can't have different billing and shipping addresses - they must be in the same country, so it is possible you get to the checkout page in the 'wrong' currency, but you wont be able to checkout if your billing and shipping addresses do not match.

Hello Natalia,
About the Euro / USD thing: I can't understand why you changed this. I think the best option for currency is always to allow the customer to choose by himself. My markups get paid in USD.I don't want to go through an additional currency conversion (and of course, additional fees) when I use my markup to buy things...
In my opinion, this IS a bug that needs to be corrected.

At the very, very, very least there needs to be some way for us shop owners to view and set the prices in $

I think there are a few people like me, who are based in Europe, but who sell mostly to the US . There is now no way we can set our prices to be a nice even round amount of dollars if we so desire. Even if we did laboriously work out conversion manually, if the Euro rate fluctuates, with the markup being in euros the price the customer sees will also fluctuate. Not being able to tell people what your prices will be from one month to the next is not exactly good situation to be in either.

I think i've thought of a possible work around for this that will at least get me back the ability to set and see prices in $ even if I can't order in them. If anyone can tell me if this would work or not I would appreciate their input.

If I change the delivery address of my main ID from France to the US ( it doesn't have to be my US address just any US address) I should then start seeing prices in $.

If I want to order anything myself I will need to set up a second ID and upload a second copy of the models I want to order to that then order from there with my correct delivery address.

It's a bit messy and wastes my time and Shapeways server space but at least it should get arround this problem.

Oh course it does not get around the problem of us being paid in dollars and having to pay in Euros and so losing a few % each time.

There's workarounds for everything, however when I build a model which is priced in USD (static) by Shapeways and I use USD to be paid and am used to USD payments to Shapeways, to me there's no point in jumping through hoops for a workaround when all that needs to be done is change the currency options back to how they were before.

tbh, I'd rather get a friend in the states to order on my behalf and forward the order on to me than try to deal with a fluctuating pricing system.
